Louisiana licenses manufactured-home installers through the Manufactured Housing Commission and conditions the license on a $25,000 surety bond (or an equivalent letter of credit). Ours is $750 flat — 3% of the bond amount — and issues fast.
















License bonds are the simplest thing in surety. Here's the entire process:
Business details and an effective date. That's the application — no financials, no credit check section, no follow-up scavenger hunt.
License bonds like this are among the thousands of bond types that issue right after purchase. At most, 1–2 business days.
Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your installer license application or annual renewal. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
$25,000 bond × 3% = $750, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Louisiana regulates manufactured-home installers through the Manufactured Housing Commission, housed under the Office of the State Fire Marshal. State law conditions an installer license on a $25,000 surety bond (or an equivalent irrevocable letter of credit), maintained while the license is active.
The bond backs the installer's compliance with Louisiana's manufactured-home installation standards under Title 51. If an installer's faulty work or statutory violation harms a homeowner, the harmed party can recover against the bond, up to the $25,000 penal sum.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Installers who follow the commission’s installation standards treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your filing continuous with renewal notices ahead of each annual cycle.
These are the actual issuing fields — no credit check section, because this bond doesn't have one.
